Canon 2240 bears a lot of similarity to the earlier, home all-in-one Canon printers , with the most obvious difference being that this one has textured black side, back and front panels, where the previous model’s were high-gloss.
Elsewhere, a simple, A4 flatbed scanner sits to the right of a tall, thin control panel, with plenty of buttons and indicators to control the machine, but just a single, seven-segment LED display.
The front cover clicks open to reveal what Canon refers to as a 'Fast Front'. Quite what’s fast about it isn’t obvious, but the two, fold-down trays work between them to feed and collect paper as the machine prints. When folded down, they virtually double its depth.
If you intend to print from a phone or tablet, you are at home with Canon 2240 and this is the obvious way to go, get clear and select your resolutions.
The twin ink cartridges slide into two holders behind an internal cover, once you have folded down the Fast Front. One is black and the other tri-colour. This makes the printer easy to service.
The Printer has been updated, with handy applets like the reversed-L shaped 'Quick Menu', and the small panel that is 'Image Display'. There’s also 'My Image Garden', for sorting photos and 'Creative Park Premium' for downloading photos and illustrations from professional artists - a feature only available to users of genuine Canon inks.
